We'd like to thank Tepui Tents for supporting our Expedition Portal community!
Here is some additional information on their company.



Tepui (Spanish [te ' puy]) is a table-top mountain or mesa found in the Guiana Highlands of South America, especially in Venezuela and western Guyana. The word tepui means "house of the gods" in the native tongue of the Pemon, the indigenous people who inhabit the Gran Sabana.



At Tepui Tents adventure is our profession and life is our passion. Based out of Santa Cruz, California we are an enthusiastic outdoor adventure company that offers the highest quality roof top tents and accessories available. It is important to us to know how our products actually work in the outdoors so we are always exploring new trails and testing our products so we know first-hand that you will not find a better tent for your vehicle. Check our website for opportunities to join us on some of these adventures by either participating in our annual Tepui Fest, or on one of our Tepui Adventure Series expedition style trips.





Tepui Tents are made with the most durable rip-stop waterproof materials that will stand up to the most extreme conditions yet are as comfortable as sleeping at home. Our tents easily mount directly to most stock roof racks or aftermarket roof bars and can be fully set up in just a few minutes. We have a wide range of colors and tent sizes to choose from so you can be sure to find one that is the perfect fit for you and your vehicle.



From off-road warriors in the harsh environments of Death Valley to families out at the lake for a weekend getaway we have something for everyone. Our new Ruggedized line of tents sets us apart from any other roof top tent out there, with heavy duty materials you can be confident that these tents will have the durability to take you anywhere in comfort and style.



Not only do we offer the toughest roof top tents, but we also have a wide range of high quality accessories including awnings and awning extensions that provide that extra level of protection from the elements and extra room for gear or others to sleep. From our compact 2-person Ayer roof top tent, to the huge 4-person Gran Sabana roof top tent and annex you can have room for the whole family, and if you add one of our roomy annexes or awning extension there is room for several more people if you need it for your next adventure.



We also have a line of tough Expedition Series weatherproof gear bags. These gears bags are designed to stand up to any abuse you can throw at them. These bags are rugged enough to throw them in the bed of a truck for days on the trail, or strap them to a roof rack. They are extremely resistant to dust, abrasion, water and heat so they'll be ready any adventure you can dream up.

At Tepui we are pleased to offer the highest quality adventure gear and we're confident that you'll be completely satisfied with our products. Talk to someone who has owned a Tepui Tent and you'll hear stories about their adventures and see just how much they like our products. We hope to see you out on the trails soon. Where will your Tepui take you?

Tepui is now a proud sponsor for Canguro Racing. This team of racers are a group of friends that came together because of their love of Land Cruisers. There is decades worth of overland experience with this race team and they've taken their experience to the desert racing scene. They competed in the Mint400, Best in the Desert series Vegas to Reno, and the Baja 1000. We are prepping right now for this years Baja 1000 where we will be racing a 200 Series Land Cruiser in the stock fullsize class. We will race against the Toyota Factory Team with their TRD Pro Tundra in the same class so it will be a great head to head race with Toyota. I've been shocked at the lack of exposure that desert race teams have had to RTTs. For the Canguro Race team Tepui tents are a critical piece of equipment. Desert races are long grueling stretches often through the night with little chance for sleep. Sleep becomes vital to both the chase crew and the racers themselves since exhaustion can result in poor decisions that could lead to breakdown or more severe distasters or even death if you're not careful. Without a RTT, chase crews and drivers and left to try to get a nap in the front seats of their trucks or laying on the ground. Neither of those result in good rest.
The Tepui RTTs with their quick setup and take-down make it possible for chase crews and drivers to sleep in the same level of comfort that they would get at home in their own beds. A rested race team is a successful race team and Tepui has stepped up and is a key sponsor of Canguro Racing this year.

Not sure if this is the place to post this...

A few weeks ago ExPo stopped working for me when accessing with my iPhone. I'd click on a thread and get a message "loading" but nothing would open. I contacted Scott who referred me to Chazz Layne. He reported they were having issues with Tapatalk app and had little hope of a resolution. But happily today I learned that a fix was found and all seems to be back to normal (me spending too much time here ;-)). So thanks Chazz for the quick fix.
